Targeting Early Dementia: Using Lipid Cubic Phase Nanocarriers to Cross the Blood–Brain Barrier
Over the past decades, a frequent co-morbidity of cerebrovascular pathology and Alzheimer’s disease has been observed. Numerous published studies indicate that the preservation of a healthy cerebrovascular endothelium can be an important therapeutic ...

Method for identification of condition-associated public antigen receptor sequences [PDF]
Diverse repertoires of hypervariable immunoglobulin receptors (TCR and BCR) recognize antigens in the adaptive immune system. The development of immunoglobulin receptor repertoire sequencing methods makes it possible to perform repertoire-wide disease association studies of antigen receptor sequences.

Remodeling of HDL remnants generated by scavenger receptor class B type I [PDF]
Scavenger receptor class B type I (SR-BI) mediates the selective transfer of cholesteryl ester from HDL to cells. We previously established that SR-BI overexpressed in livers of apolipoprotein A-I-deficient mice processes exogenous human HDL2 to incrementally smaller HDL particles.

Enterovirus 71 (EV71) is one of the major causative agents of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD). Infection with EV71 is occasionally associated with severe neurological diseases such as acute encephalitis, acute flaccid paralysis and cardiopulmonary ...

Soluble CD5 and CD6: Lymphocytic Class I Scavenger Receptors as Immunotherapeutic Agents
CD5 and CD6 are closely related signal-transducing class I scavenger receptors mainly expressed on lymphocytes. Both receptors are involved in the modulation of the activation and differentiation cell processes triggered by clonotypic antigen-specific ...

Liver receptor homolog 1 controls the expression of the scavenger receptor class B type I [PDF]
The scavenger receptor class B type I (SR‐BI), which mediates selective cellular cholesterol uptake from high‐density lipoproteins (HDLs), plays a key role in reverse cholesterol transport. The orphan nuclear receptor liver receptor homolog 1 (LRH‐1) and SR‐BI are co‐expressed in liver and ovary, suggesting that LRH‐1 might control the expression of SR‐

Algebraic study of receptor-ligand systems: a dose-response analysis [PDF]
The study of a receptor-ligand system generally relies on the analysis of its dose-response (or concentration-effect) curve, which quantifies the relation between ligand concentration and the biological effect (or cellular response) induced when binding its specific cell surface receptor.

Scavenger Receptor Class B Type I Is a Plasma Membrane Cholesterol Sensor [PDF]
Rationale: Signal initiation by the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) receptor scavenger receptor class B, type I (SR-BI), which is important to actions of HDL on endothelium and other processes, requires cholesterol efflux and the C-terminal transmembrane domain.

Lipoprotein Receptors Redundantly Participate in Entry of Hepatitis C Virus. [PDF]
Scavenger receptor class B type 1 (SR-B1) and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) are known to be involved in entry of hepatitis C virus (HCV), but their precise roles and their interplay are not fully understood. In this study, deficiency of both SR-
